What’s a cosmopologist know about it anyway?

ah. Steven Hawking knows there’s no heaven. I guess he peeked. Is he bitter?
It was once said: "Physicists seem to be the only scientists who aren't embarrassed to speak about God." As a former physicist, current apostate and agnostic, I take no pleasure in this reply: "considering what most physicists have actually had to say about God, they should have been."
Hawking is as qualified to talk about theology as most theologians are to talk about physics. Which is to say, not qualified at all.
I can’t comprehend living life as he does. There but for the grace of God go I, and I might very well reject God like Hawking does if I did.
That said, we know a young man in Hawking’s same shoes who, now in his 30s, is not a genius like Hawking, but possesses normal intelligence inside a completely uncooperative body. He has for life been confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak or feed himself or dress himself or do anything without the 24 hr care of his parents or others. He “speaks” (computer audio) via slight hand signals for single letters as his mother types. As a teenager, this man was taken to a Billy Graham crusade, became a believer, and managed to go home and lead his parents to faith as well.
Can you imagine? His parents, upon whom he relies for everything, can say that their physically helpless son led them to the most important thing of all, in spite of his limitations.
Hawking should meet this fine man.
I don’t think Steve has to concern himself about heaven but someone better tell him there is a hell. Unless little prideful stevie can’t be told anything - he knows it all. He’ll be another one to learn the hard way.
Bitter much, Stephen?
Yes there is a God. Like I said before your house did not appear one day with all the rooms, electricity, ac, etc... Someone built it. Your computer with Windows, the Internet and email did not just appear one day. Someone built it.
I think it’s funny when you can’t argue facts you attack the person. LOL! Now how old are you?
Wrong on Einstein too (what a surprise!)... He was trying to figure out how God thinks....
Like I said earlier I would not bet against Planck and Einstein.
Excellent quote from Max Planck. Thanks
Father God,
We praise and thank you for your powerful long arm and ask that you would show your glory by changing this mans heart, that you would soften his heart; that he would repent his sin and ask you to save him in Jesus Christ’s name.
Again, for your Glory LORD.
Amen
Another unworthy recipient of civilization’s guilt feelings toward the cripples and the disadvantaged.
The poor bastard is trapped in his own body. I am reminded of Donavan’s Brain, a B-movie of long ago, in which a wealthy tycoon’sbrain was taken from his body and kept alive in a jar. He became a creature of pure will, and malice. In short, deprived of human sensibility went mad. Then to hell. Utter separation.
There is no Stephen Hawking;he is a fairy.....

One of the really great things about the life to come is that we will have no infirmities. We should always keep in mind that our trial in this life is so very short.
That’s tough to remember.
You possess an intellectual humility rare among skeptics.
Please accept my sincere congratulations on that.
The only thing standing between Rand and Buckley was God. As a believer, but a skeptic, I have no problem with a homepage that embraces them both
Is this remark from your homepage now outdated in the light of your remarks above?
Cheers!

It is funny that atheists almost UNIVERSALLY attribute religious motivations to fear -- either of death, or Hell, or punishment.
They're projecting. 1 John 4:18.
Cheers!
